MacOSX: find out if a process (given a PID) is running in 32bit or in 64bit Intel mode

I have a PID and I want to find out if the process is running in 32bit or in 64bit Intel mode. How?

Solution

  • I can do via NSRunningApplication.

    [[NSRunningApplication runningApplicationWithProcessIdentifier:pid] executableArchitecture]

    returns the Mach-O architecture constant.

    This works only for GUI applications, though...
